Abstract excerpt
CD40-CD40L interactions mediate T-dependent B cell response and efficient T cell priming. Therefore, genes encoding these molecules are attractive candidates for studies on autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), in which activated T and B cells are involved. Thus, we analyzed CD40 and CD40L mRNA expression in whole blood samples from MS patients and controls. Additionally, we examined the effect of...
